Oa oe a em SINGING TOWERS The Singing Towers, above, will perform on Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service at East Gold Street Wesleyan Church. They will present “A Ministry Through Music” and the community is invited to attend. Boyce Memorial Sets Spring Revival Series Dr. J. Allen Blair will be the speaker for the Boyce Memorial ARP Church’s ‘3rd annual World Missions services. - Dr. Blair is the speaker of The Glad Tidings Radio Broadcast carried by over 50 stations in 24 states and several foreign countries. World ‘Evangelization ought to be a top priority of the Church of Jesus Christ. Research indicates that over two billion people in our world today have not yet heard the gospel. There is an urgency about reaching these peoples, for within 50-60 years, at least that DR. J.A. BLAIR many will have died without Christ. It is true that “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved,” but “How can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without so- meone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent?” (Rom. 10:13-15). It is our hope that these an- nual services on World Evangelization will continually increase .our vision for the spiritual needs of our world, and that this increasing vision will be used of God to “thrust forth laborers unto the harvest.” Boyce Memorial’s Missions services will begin Sunday morn- ing at 11:00 a.m., and will con- tinue Sunday through Wednes- day evenings at 7:00 p.m. each night. Wednesday evening the church will have a Family Night covered dish supper at 7:00, with the service commencing after- wards at 7:45. The Boyce Memorial Church welcomes members of our com- munity to join with us for these services. We are located next to the Kings Mountain Hospital. A nursery will be provided for young children of those atten- ding the services. Rev. Bill Tyson is pastor. Bike-A-Thon To Help Fight Cystic Fibrosis The Cystic Fibrosis Founda- tion is looking for a few good people to participate in a bike-a- thon starting at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 31 at Spring Acres, Grover. The goal is to raise money to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis (CF), the number one genetic killer of children and young adults in the United States. Only 25 years ago, children born with CF rarely lived to enter grade school. Now, because of research ac- complishments and improved treatment, nearly half of all children with CF will live past the age of 21. But there is still no test to detect carriers of the gene which causes CF (ten million POOR MAN DINNER El Bethel United Methodist Women will sponsor a Poor Man’s Dinner from 6-8 p.m. Fri- day at the El Bethel fellowship hall. The menu includes pinto beans, potato salad, cornbread, onions, pickles, dessert and tea or coffee. All you can eat orders are $2. Americans carry this gene), and there is no cure for the disease. “That’s why research is so crucial,” said Karen G. Moss, chairman of the event. “We need help from every child and adult to participate or sponsor a rider. “Just come to Spring Acres or call 9379908 to get sponsor sheets,” then ask your relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers to pledge any amount per mile for each mile you ride. The idea is to get as many sponsors as possible. Refreshments provided by McDonalds and Holly Farms will be served during the bike-a- thon. CFF t-shirts will be award- ed to all riders who collect $30.00 or more. Bikers who col- lect $90.00 or more have their choice of a roll tote bag or a long-sleeves beach shirt. Riders may compete for three statewide prizes to be awarded to the top three. money-raisers in North Carolina. Call Vickie Smith 937-7100, Karen Moss at 9379908 to find out what you can win as a state prize and for any other information about the bike-a-thon. Lenten Service Set At Central Methodist Mid-week lenten services will continue Wednesday at Central United Methodist Church.

BC Group To Fight Alcoholic Beverages EUGENE LAND On Monday night, March 19th, a community-wide meeting was held at Sunset Lane Baptist Church in Bessemer City, at 7:00 p.m. Sponsored by the Bessemer City Ministerial Alliance, the purpose of the meeting was to help determine the degree of community interest in calling for a referendum to de-legalize the sale of alcoholic beverages in the city of Bessemer City. The speaker for this occasion was the Rev. Eugene Land, pastor of the Second Baptist Church in Kings Mountain, who, in July of 1983, led a successful fight to keep the sale of alcoholic beverages out of Kings Mountain. The meeting was attended by 35 adults, including the pastors of eight local churches, representing four denominations. Citing some of the effects of alcohol on people’s lives, Rev. Land said that “the sale of alcoholic beverages is a moral issue”, and that any “successful effort” to stop this practice is going to require a lot of “hard work” on the part of those who oppose it. Stating the fact that “the more available something is the more people are going to buy it”. Rev. Land said that the only way to cut down:on the consumption of alcoholic beverages in Bessemer City is to make it “less available to its people.” He then went on to mention several things that need to be done both before and after a referendum is called for. Following his presentation, Rev. Land answered a number of questions from the floor. According to Rev. John S. Jennings, secretary-treasurer of the Bessemer City Ministerial Alliance, “those who attended the meeting left there with a strong determination to see the sale of alcoholic beverages in Bessemer City brought to an end. The matter will now be brought before the Bessemer City Ministerial Alliance at its next regular meeting on March 30th, to determine what courses of action need to be taken next.” FREE LAYAWAYS INVITED PLONK Brothers Co.
